Ok, but then unfortunately we have the trust issue.

Do we trust them, to:

a) do it and not just lie about it totally or partially, and we find out later on when somebody does eventually report it/find out/investigate, if ever happens.

b) even if they intend to really do it, that they do it properly.

If it doesn't reach them, you are 100% sure the data is not there and not at risk (from their end of course). Otherwise is just let's hope for the big corporation with optimizing for most profitability for their stackholders as main objective to do "their best at protecting it's consumers data and privacy".

Which sure... hurting consumers and getting fines aint' great, but not always ends up in less profitability than doing the right thing from the beginning.

Of course... this is not a big deal compared with other stuff, there are alternatives and it's not something you really depend on day to day. Compared with other stuff that is for sure.

It's far from perfect though as some games to able to be sold again are modified to remove certain licensed content like music. This is in detriment of who ever owned the game before that as the game gets a forced update which caused the previous owners to lose access to the original version.

There is already a video of a driver using the Apple Vision on a Tesla Cybertruck which I assume was on auto pilot I guess.

I don't understand why is so bad. If you use the insert data from file it ask you to choose separator and all that, great works fine.

If I open the CSV directly it doesn't and unless the files follows your system settings for separator and date a d similar it opens it wrong.

Not really, there is a lot missing from Spotify

True, I have experienced that. I love the apps, but I ended up switching to youtube premium due to that.

Anything that isn't in youtube music as a song, usually is available as a video either uploaded by the artists themselves or as a "not so legal" upload. Not a fan of the apps though.

Plugins, not sure why nobody mentions them so far here but it's the main reason why I haven't switched to anything else.

I use:

- autoextract plugin to extract files inside the torrents

- autoremove plugin to remove torrents after x days, x seed time, with exceptions to trackers, labels etc

- LabelPlus improves on top of Deluge label system and adds a lot of different options that you can apply to the torrents with certain label plus you can make sub labels.

- RSS plugin with lot of custom filtering with regex etc.

- AutoAdd, an improvement over the tipical blackhole/autoadd of torrent files with the possibility to set settings like bandwidth limits, label it, etc based on the folder it was found.

Some of that maybe is included in some clients but the main point it's that if I wanted I could implement a plugin myself more or less easily in python to add my needed feature without bothering anybody else. Or I could modify an existing plugin.

The other that other people already mentioned is the thin client/ server daemon system, which is 100% better than any web ui because literally you are using the native ui which is the first thing to receive any changes. The web UIs are nice but usually are second priority in general, don't receive all the changes, some settings or features are missing compared with the main ui etc.

And in any case Deluge also has a web-ui if needed, which emulates most of the main UI, plugins need to add a custom code for it, and some don't so that is missing but in any case as I said all that is available in the thin client.

Also handles a lot of torrents nicely which although I don't have a name I remember having issues with some other torrent clients didn't handle it too good. That said nowadays my number of torrents is around 70~100, I used to have a lot more than that.
